Dom Howard is the creative, explosive drummer for the British band Muse. He uses his whole drum kit to create musical drum patterns for the bands songs rather than just playing a 'back beat'. Muse began playing with each other while still at school and some of the early band names included: "Gothic Plague" and "Carnage Mayhem" before they finally became Muse. Dom is a left handed drummer- that's why his kit may seem to be set up backwards to most of us. Apparently the song Dom would like played at his funeral is "Don't Stop Us Now" by Queen.
